Why not boost the post instead of creating an image of it?

I did boost it. If anyone else wants to, here’s the original post: social.coop/

Eddie ,

I like the image. Did you create it yourself manually, or do you have a screenshot program that prepared this for you?

I’d also like to know, it looks pretty slick.

hiramfromthechi OP ,
@hiramfromthechi@lemmy.world avatar

I used CleanShot X to create the image, but it’s only for Mac. If you’re on Windows, try ShareX (which is free and open source).

Thanks! That reminds me, I need to reinstall ShareX, I knew there was something missing after getting a new PC haha.

I knew you were going to say that! Mac OS always has all of the aesthetics! One can only hope we’ll get “pretty” windows apps eventually. Although, Microsoft would have to unify their UI first, and we all know that will never happen.

You gotta love stock photos. My favourite is the one where the code is projected across the room and the developer’s face.

Sadly ad blockers will soon stop working on YouTube…. theverge.com/…/youtube-videos-disabling-ad-blocke…

Even Twitch agressive ad-blocker blocking methods can be bypass fairly easily (it’s just not as easy as downloading an adblocker). I have hope for the future of YouTube’s adblocker !

oct_opus OP ,

When there is a will there’s a way. They underestimate what people on the interwebs are willing to do to watch bad videos without being bothered by even abysmally crappier ads 🤡

I’d like to throw in Youtube Redux.

It’s main function is to restore the older desktop look/feel of pre 2016ish Youtube, but it’s insanely customizable and good for cutting down on random buttons or features you don’t care about.

Only downside is it’s being maintained by one guy and it’s abit slow to be updated sometimes.

nl4real ,

Yeah, love it.

I usually just enter offensive shit if I’m forced to enter text.

SapphicFemme , (edited )

An underpaid employee has to read that though

Doodoocaca ,
@Doodoocaca@lemmy.world avatar

Cool. At least they get to read something entertaining then. Also, I seriously doubt any of the input ever gets read by a person at all. Chances are it gets collected and processed by some application to generate a list of keyword for their customer satisfaction reports.

SapphicFemme ,

Uhmm you said you type “offense shit”. That means if an employee reads that just adds to their already awful day. Especially if what you write particularly awful.

Btw you are not the only person likely typing awful stuff in that text box

Doodoocaca ,
@Doodoocaca@lemmy.world avatar

Like I said, the chances of any human ever reading it are extremely small. Close to 0%. Shit like that is automated.

Or just use a proper third-party client. You wouldn’t use Reddit with a browser, or God forbid, the official app? It’s the same with YouTube. Or everything, really.

the app i use on android is NewPipe, it’s been really nice

similar_everywhere ,

you need to get it from fdroid though or directly from github. google play store does not have it. You will only get ripoffs there that are have the name “NewPipe” but are not it. they are also riddled with ads and whatever crap adware is popular now.

brihuang95 ,
@brihuang95@sopuli.xyz avatar

yeah i downloaded the apk directly from their website when the version i got had a ton of ads. i realized it was not the legit one

Dazza ,

What would you reccommend?

monk ,

Newpipe Sponsorblock is an easy recommendation for everyone on Android. Two minutes of installing/configuring and it’s just plain good: downloading, background playback, in-video ad skipping etc.

I, myself, convert YouTube channels into podcast feeds and play YouTube videos among my regular podcasts using AntennaPod, but that requires me to host a service.

ehyuman , to mildlyinfuriating in You can't uninstall this software without being forced to participate in their survey

I’ll just choose the first option in such situations if I’m not given a chance to skip.

How was this image generated, is there a tool to make image from post? Also could anyone share original post?

doesn’t help that printer ink is one of the most expensive liquids in the world and the whole business model of printer companies is based on selling overpriced ink, so much so that they sell printers at a loss and then try to block out third party cartridges

Any idea if there’s a way to block shorts using PiHole? I mostly consume YouTube on mobile devices (Android and iOS) but would love to get rid of that garbage.

Quik2007 ,

Unfortunately that is very unlikely, as YouTube shorts are served from the same servers as all other content on YouTube, so PiHole can’t tell the difference.

But even for iOS there is uYou+ which can block shorts and I’m sure there will be a similar piece of software for Android.

lando55 ,

If there was a way to block Shorts and anything with “Reacts” in the video title, I would jump at the chance

shortgiraffe ,

The blocktube extension lets you do both those things.

lando55 ,

I guess I was referring to something at a network level, akin to a pihole that would work to block on my mobile devices
